Liv Strand is a visual artist immersed in the practice of re-shaping. Re-shaping as a means to reflect definitions by translating them into form; information is transposed materially, or from one field of art to another, manifesting gaps and cracks between disciplines as a performative space. Her artistic practise takes an interest in spatial issues. Space as situation, a place where people interact out of different starting points with different purposes. The possibility of different claims in common space, with the friction that comes out of mutual adaptation.
Liv Strand is a Swedish artist born 1971, living in Stockholm. She works at EMS and is a member of Fylkingen. Video work is available through the distributor Filmform.

It is work staging a text by Gertrude Stein from 1926, the text is about what it is to create something new and especially what it is to write texts. It is a text that practise its content in its own format. My colleagues are Marcus Doverud and Amelie Rydqvist. Our work creates a translation of the text as words and sentences into objects, space, bodies and movements and the physical connections in-between.
A continuation of the work will be performed at Weld in 2012.
